February still carries the quiet chill of winter, yet the sun has been finding its way through the clouds more often each day. Those soft moments of light feel like a hint of what is coming, a gentle reminder that Spring is closer than it seems, even in the middle of February. ✨

This weekend, downtown Waynesville leans into everything that makes a small town feel special. Main Street fills with the simple kind of joy that only happens here, with the Waynesville Valentine's Chocolate Walk adding something sweet to the day and local shops marking moments that matter.

During the Chocolate Walk, the afternoon unfolds one shop at a time. Strolling from shop to shop, pausing to browse, to visit, and to sample decadent chocolates from the Waynesville Candy Shoppe, a place that feels as much like a tradition as it does a treat.

This weekend also brings a special moment for Buckeye Charm, celebrating six years in downtown Waynesville. Built with care and creativity, the shop reflects the heart of its owner, Jona, a longtime resident and dedicated small business owner. A true believer in community and collaboration, she shares her energy and vision with the town in ways that go beyond her shop, reminding us that Waynesville’s charm not only lies in its history but in the people who pour their hearts into it every day.

February in Waynesville is made of small moments that linger. A little winter still in the air, a little sweetness along Main Street, and stories unfolding in familiar places. 💛Visit Waynesville, where every visit is a story worth remembering.

Buckeye Charm’s 6th Anniversary Celebration 10am to 6pm & Waynesville Chocolate Walk 3:00pm to 6:00pm.
